Would You Like an Automated Prompt to Install Additional Packages After CI4 Setup? - datamweb - 08-08-2024

Hi everyone,

When setting up our projects with the framework, we typically start by installing the framework itself using the composer install command. After that, we move on to additional packages, such as the Shield authentication package and the Translation package, which we install individually using the composer require command.

My question is:
Would you prefer to have a prompt immediately after the framework installation asking if you'd like to install any of these packages (e.g., Shield and Translation)? This would allow you to select the packages you want, and the installation would proceed automatically in the command line.

Sounds good to me.

Of course, this can be very useful and also also encryption generating

That's a great suggestion. This will enhance user clarity regarding officially supported packages.

@datamweb, maybe running a poll would be better for this.

@InsiteFX Thank you so much for your participation and suggestion. I intended to edit the topic and turn it into a poll, but unfortunately, it seems that changing the topic to a poll isn't possible in the forum. Additionally, while the CodeIgniter community is large, users typically become active only when there's an issue with the framework, and they tend to participate less in polls. I’m not entirely sure why this is the case.

Added poll.
It looks good. It will help some to learn about other features of the framework

My suggestion is prompt to create .env file first.
